- Title:
- Assistant Coach -- Defensive Line
Chuka Ndulue (pronounced CHOO-kuh en-DOO-loo-ay) joined Colorado State in January 2024 after spending two seasons at New Mexico State coaching the defensive line. While in Las Cruces, Ndulue helped the Aggies to two incredibly successful seasons which included a double-digit wins for just the second time in program history.
Â
Prior to his time in Las Cruces, Ndulue led the defensive line for three seasons at Southern Illinois (FCS). During his tenure, the Salukis totaled 21 wins and advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs in both 2020 and 2021.
Ndulue started his coaching career in 2017 as a volunteer coach at his alma mater, Oklahoma, before going to Nebraska as a defensive graduate assistant in 2018. He helped the Sooners win the 2017 Big 12 title and play in the 2018 College Football Playoff semifinal.
Signed by the Denver Broncos out of college, Ndulue spent three seasons in the NFL with Denver (2015) and the Los Angeles Chargers (2015-16) following a decorated collegiate career at Oklahoma where he was a three-year starter for the Sooners. He racked up 140 tackles, 17.0 tackles for loss and 12 sacks over the course of his Oklahoma career (2010-14) and earned All-Big 12 second team honors twice. His 15 tackles against Texas in the 2013 Red River Rivalry set an Oklahoma program record for tackles in a game by a defensive lineman. He was a part of 51 victories, including three bowl wins, and two Big 12 regular season titles as a player.
